The problem on the 100 series seems to be that there is less room between the glass and the outside metal on the door or the cover strip incorporating the wiper rubber is wider and the wiper rubber thinner. Either way there is less room for the mirror bracket.
I know the rubber does not like to be scrunched up tight under the mirror bracket as it requires a fair bit of tension to keep the mirror bracket away from the window glass and the rubber takes several days to regain its shape once the mirrors have been removed.
I heard of one person who busted their drivers window and then decided on fitting the Clearview Mirrors.
I fugured I would not wait till I busted the window before I acted. I think I took the cheaper option by fitting them now.
This problem did not occur on the 80 series and it is probably OK many other vehicles as
well. It just seems the 100 series is the issue.
My mate actually cut the rubber away with a razor blade on his 98 model 100 series to fit the truck mirror type. He is very happy with his mirrors.
Cutting the wiper rubbers was not an option for me.
